Ding Ruola's focus was completely different from the man behind her.
The girl's mind was now full of the toy on Fang Siyan's desk. Her eyes were fixed on the phone screen.
Gu Tingjun thought Ding Ruola pointed out the small tin jumping frog because she liked it, so he casually said something to perfunctorily deal with it.
He wasn't sure if such things were still available in the supermarket.
"Whose is this little jumping frog?"
Gu Tingjun had already helped Ding Ruola tidy up her hair, making a simple yet not-so-simple ponytail.
A single ponytail, then braided, combined with Ding Ruola's outfit today, made her look sunny and positive. She was like an independent glowing body, somewhat dazzling.
Ding Ruola had no mood to appreciate the hairstyle done by Gu Tingjun at the moment. Her mind was only on the little jumping frog in the photo and Fang Siyan's childhood in Europe.
"If I remember correctly, it belongs to my younger sister!"
The girl seemed to be deep in thought. She swiped a few more photos forward, and there was an extra woman among the three children.
She put her index finger on the woman's face. Before her question could be asked, the phone in her hand was snatched away by Gu Tingjun.
"She's just Qianxue's mother."
"She..."
Gu Tingjun glanced at Ding Ruola, then set a password for this photo album. The password was today's date.
"She passed away from illness!"
These two simple words silenced all of Ding Ruola's curiosity about this woman.
On the way to the parking lot, neither of them spoke first. After getting in the car, Ding Ruola couldn't help it. She was really too curious about Fang Siyan's childhood.
"Can you tell me about Fang Siyan's childhood?"
After hearing this request, Gu Tingjun didn't start to tell the story directly. The car had driven about half the way before the man spoke.
Fang Siyan's childhood was no different from other rich kids. He basically played with the children of upper - class people.
At that time, the Gu family and the Fang family hadn't fallen out yet. Moreover, the Fang family hadn't returned to China to develop twenty years ago. Their main market was also in Europe.
Ding Ruola knew the time when the Fang family returned to China. It was probably the time when Fang Siyan moved next door to her house.
"Then why did Gu Qianxue say that Fang Siyan lost his memory?"
Gu Tingjun originally didn't want to mention that incident. Since Ding Ruola asked, he thought there was nothing to hide.
It might not be a bad thing for Ding Ruola to know this. Maybe it would have some strange effects in the future.
"Fang Siyan and my younger sister were kidnapped by a local illegal organization at that time."
Europe was far from what Ding Ruola thought, not to mention Europe twenty years ago.
At that time, the world economic model had just started. New legal systems and new civilizations were being formed. The public security in Europe was extremely poor.
At that time, the Gu family offended the local gangsters in business.
Their leader, Wayne, sent people to kidnap two children of the Gu family.
Gu Qianxue liked to stick to Fang Siyan at that time. Those people mistook Fang Siyan for Gu Tingjun and kidnapped him.
As for what happened after the two were kidnapped, no one was very clear.
The two children weren't very old at that time. They were like precious jewels growing up in a honeypot and were basically scared out of their wits.
Gu Qianxue was rescued. When she woke up, her family began to ask the girl what had happened during those days, but the girl couldn't remember a single word.
Fang Siyan was different. He could still tell some fragmentary memories at that time. However, the good times didn't last long. Fang Siyan seemed to have changed into a different person.
He became more and more silent. He often locked himself in the room and then started to cry.
Gu Tingjun stopped talking here.
"What happened next?"
Ding Ruola was in the middle of getting interested. She thought she could uncover the mystery from this man's mouth, but unexpectedly, the story stopped halfway.
"You already know!"
What did he mean by "she already knew"?
Could it be that after that, Fang Siyan lost his memory and then returned to China?
This was too far - fetched!
Not even TV dramas would dare to act like this. It was just a kidnapping. How could he lose his memory?
Ding Ruola half - believed and half - doubted what Gu Tingjun said. When the story ended, they had already arrived home.
It was eleven o'clock at night. There were few people in the community. Although this community was allocated by University B for its teaching staff, many professors and postgraduate students had other houses in the capital. The rooms here were basically rented out.
Due to economic limitations, the situation of the renters was not very certain. Gu Tingjun was not at ease with Ding Ruola walking alone at night.
He followed Ding Ruola all the way home, watched her unlock the door and go back into the house.
After seeing Ding Ruola go home, he changed his phone and called Fang Siyan.
"Gu Tingjun! If you dare to touch a single hair on Ruoruo, I'll..."
"Mr. Fang, don't be angry. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to treat your benefactor like this?"
Fang Siyan was still entangled with Qin Hongyu. After receiving Gu Tingjun's call and thoroughly understanding the situation.
He finally understood that he was now being played around by Qin and Gu.
He was angry in his heart, but the necessary warnings still had to be given. He waved in a few strong men and surrounded Qin Hongyu.
Fang Siyan was not a person who liked to watch the excitement, so he left.
Just as he was about to reach the door, he heard the man's painful cries.
This was the retribution that those who did bad things deserved.
Just as Fang Siyan reached the community entrance, he saw Bi Shuang also rushing over. He knew that Bi Shuang was Ding Ruola's friend. If anything happened to this girl, Ding Ruola would be very sad.
In this way, Fang Siyan wouldn't feel good either. He asked his assistant to explain the whole story clearly and then sent Bi Shuang home.
Bi Shuang was simply a collector of scumbag men. Now there was another one.
She was completely stunned. At first, when she got in the car, she pretended to be calm. But when she was almost home, she couldn't hold it in anymore.
Zhang Jun couldn't stand girls' tears. He had no way with crying girls, and his ability to express himself seemed to be shackled.
"It's just a man!"
Those who weren't the parties involved naturally couldn't understand Bi Shuang's pain. This wasn't just a man. There were several such men.
Good men were all the same, while scumbag men were all strange!
Fang Siyan rushed home. Gu Tingjun had already left.
The two didn't meet.
There was only Ding Ruola at home. Ding Ruola was sitting in the living room, hugging her knees. The TV was on, but it was always on the preview window.
It was not known whether the TV had just been turned on or Ding Ruola was in a daze and didn't notice that the TV was on.
"Ruoruo! Can you tell me if anything happens to you in the future?"
Fang Siyan quickly walked up to Ding Ruola. He knelt on one knee, held Ding Ruola's hand, and rested his head on Ding Ruola's lap.
"Okay! Can you promise me one thing?"
Promising one thing was a piece of cake. Now if Ding Ruola asked Fang Siyan to jump off the building, Fang Siyan might even think about the posture for jumping off the building later.
